1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Um tears to get your take on Ditrich wise, is 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: you know the energy he showed last night, but kind 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: of the growth from him as a player both on 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: the field and perhaps um you know, as an emotional 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: leader a little bit in that locker room. Yeah. Um, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, Dietrich has done a good job for us. Um, 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, he did a couple of good things last night. 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: I'd say, as with all of us, there's things that 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: he can improve on. Um, but he does bring a 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: good energy and a good spirit and m he's got 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: a positive attitude and he works hard and has gotten better. 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: We needed to continue to do that. What would you 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: say has been his biggest area of growth technique wise? 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: From a technique standpoint, I would say, you know, he's 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: done a better job using his hands. Um, in his 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: pad level has uh improved, although it can still be 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: inconsistent at times. Um. You know, Uh, he works at it. 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: He's he's very conscious of it, and UM you know, 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that we hope is going 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: to continue to improve for us. Thank you, Brendan, absolutely 21 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: our next question, Bill Burt Evan lazarren I brought this 22 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: up a week ago with Brian and and so I'll 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: bring it up again. But you know, see from a 24 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: little different view on the defensive line, what if you 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: if if you had to probably make a list of 26 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: five very disappointing things thus far, one of them would 27 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: be at the top, might be just getting the other 28 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: team off the field and third down mostly passing situations, 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: third and six eight yards, third and four six yards 30 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: and sort of gets Obviously it could be a frustrating 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: thing to watch to be you know, to play and whatnot. 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: From a defensive line perspective, how does how does that improve? 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean, is that strictly pressure? Is that? Um? Where 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: where can you guys in your specific area maybe improve 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: technically and you know, tangibly to make that happen? Well, I, 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a broad question, but I 37 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: think honestly the answer is across the board. UM. I think, 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, we need to improve with our technique, with 39 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: our fundamentals. We need to improve, you know, from a 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: coaching standpoint, with some of the matchups and some of 41 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: the positions that we put guys in. Um, I think 42 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: you know, playing better on early downs and creating third 43 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: and longer situations if you will, or getting them to 44 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: third down in certain instances would help us. So, you know, 45 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: I don't think there's one specific area. I think there's 46 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: a number of things that we need to improve on 47 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: and all of them will help us. Next question Evan Lazar, 48 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: followed by Ross from The Hero. He was just wondering 49 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: your opinion on how you guys are doing on the 50 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: defensive line of getting off blocks in the run game. 51 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Seems like last night it was a little bit of 52 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: a struggle in that area. Yeah, you know, I think 53 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: that was a struggle. I think there were a number 54 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: of things that were a struggle last night. You know, 55 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us from coaches that what 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: we're players standpoint, are happy with our performance. And I think, 57 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, we've all got a great sense of urgency 58 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: to improve getting off blocks as one of them. But 59 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: you know there's a long list there. What would you 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: say needs the biggest improvement in terms of getting off blox. 61 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: Is it a team thing or is it a technique 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: thing or neither. You know, I didn't think there could 63 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: be a combination of both. You know, One of the 64 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: things just creating separation, extension and using our hands a 65 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: little bit better, I think would go a long way 66 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: for us right now. Thanks coach yep. Next question Ros 67 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: Ross Jasco, called by Andrew Kelly. High coach, you guys 68 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: had three stacks in the week one, You've had just 69 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: one in the two games two game since I'm wondering, 70 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: is that something where the stats don't really tell the 71 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: full story or is that a pretty good indication of 72 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: how your pass rush has gone the last couple of weeks. Well, 73 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: I think it's it's always difficult to evaluate pass rush 74 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: strictly on the stats. You know, there's a lot of 75 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: different elements to the pass rush. I think, you know, 76 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: a sack is one way to evaluate the quality of 77 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: the pass rush. I think the objective is to affect 78 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: the quarterback, you know, batted balls, quarterback pressures, keeping quarterbacks 79 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: in the pocket that are scramblers, forcing you know, guys 80 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: who are not as mobile to have to throw on 81 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: the move. I think there's a lot of different variables 82 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: in terms of evaluating pass rush, and the sack is 83 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: one of them. You know, in general, do we need 84 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: to be better in terms of our past rush? The 85 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: answer to that is yes, Um, you know, I think 86 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: we need to get more production across the board and 87 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: that's you know, affecting the quarterback overall. Thank Yep. It's 88 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: like our final question will be Andrew Kelly and Brendan 89 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: with three games under your belt, now, what have you 90 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: learned from the way scenes have been attacking so far? Well, 91 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think each game has been different. Um, 92 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 1: I think each offense that we've played has been different. 93 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: I think, you know, we've each of those teams have 94 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: not necessarily strayed very far from their identity in terms 95 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: of who they are. I think that we have gotten 96 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: some copycat plays or some things that have hurt us, 97 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: which I think that's typically the case week to week. Um, 98 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: you know, I think we just we need to do 99 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: a better job job of executing what we do. I 100 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: think at this point, our improvement is the biggest thing 101 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: that we need to focus on, and I think it's 102 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: more about us than our opponent. Each week, we're going 103 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: to be faced with different challenges in terms of what 104 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: the offense presents from a personnel standpoint, from a scheme standpoint, 105 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: and you know, we've got to find the best way 106 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: to deal with that. But I think first and foremost, 107 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: we've got to we've got to focus on our own 108 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: individual improvement in terms of fundamentals and technique before we 109 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: get too enamored with with what other people are doing. 110 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: And exactly one final question here was go ahead, Hey coach, 111 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: just want to ask you one last question about Adrian 112 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: Clayborne and kind of what you've seen from him the 113 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: past three games. You know, Adrian's come in. He's done 114 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: a nice job for us in terms of learning the defense, 115 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: in terms of working hard and getting up to speed. Um, 116 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: we've used him in the you know, a couple of 117 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: different roles. He's a guy that is willing to do 118 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: every any and everything that is asked of him. Um. 119 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: He's provided us with some good plays out there. I'd say, 120 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, as with all of us coaches and players, Um, 121 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: there's some things that he needs to improve on in 122 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: a level of consistency, I would say that we need 123 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: to gain there. Um. But he's certainly not the only 124 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: person in that category. You coached everyone absolutely
